She had never had one and thought that she should try it to find out what she puts us through. I told her to make an appointement to go with me and try it. Dont know if she did, but I will find out on tuesday. Lol. I bet she didnt. |

Afterward hold the gauze tight against your wrist for two minutes. Then gently lift it. Do not rub the area with the gauze because that will rub the clot off and cause the bruise. I hope it goes well. Will be thinking of you! |

Since January when I had the stroke, I have been on a test program for a new drug that thins the blood to stop clotting. If I scratch myself and break the skin, I bleed for a couple of days. Everybody said I was a little bleeder, now its true. Lol |

Physical and mental. They say that I was mental to start with, so dont expect any improvements. He he he. |
